New Booklist on BookGuide: What is Your Favorite Book/Author - from the 2023 Pride Festival Library Booth

 


The Lincoln City Libraries was proud to staff a booth at the Star City Pride festival on June 9th and 10th, 2023, in downtown Lincoln, near the Pinnacle Bank Arena. In addition to offering library card sign-ups and promoting ongoing and upcoming library activities (including the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge), the staff at the booth had an oversized notepad, on which they encouraged festival attendees to write down their answers to the following questions:

  • What Is Your Favorite Book?
  • Share a Favorite Book
  • What Book Have You Enjoyed?
  • What Are You Reading?
  • What Do You Like to Read?
  • What Author Do You Love?

Festival attendees responded by filling out 17 pages of their reading preferences. This booklist web page on the libraries’ BookGuide readers advisory pages compiles most of the answers to those questions — 210 titles/series and 37 “authors you love” *. We’ve broken this list down into reading age brackets — Kids, Young Adults, and Adults. There are a lot of LGBTQ+ titles represented here — not surprising for a list gathered at a Pride event — but there’s a lot of general fiction and non-fiction as well. All titles, series or authors worth considering adding to your personal reading list!
